[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eddie Hicks:
help installing the driver please

I want to install NVFLASH on my ASUS Transformer TF700. The instructions on the website for NVFLASH installation instructs to use this Naked driver. For some reason I'm having a problem doing so. On Device Manager there appears to be 2 different drivers for the TF700. One under ASUS Android Devices titled "ASUS Andriod Composite ADB Interface, the other under Portable Devices is "ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T". Several times I have uninstalled the current drivers, disconnect the tablet from my computer and rebooted. After re-booting when I re-connect the tablet somehow the original drivers are found and are installed. When I try to install the Naked drivers manually by right clicking on the driver and directing to the Naked drivers location I get a message that says, "Windows has determined the software driver for your device is up to date". Any suggestions to get past this problem? Thanks

Turn off your internet, Windows automatically installs drivers if the internet is on.

Jb bootloader prime here running stock. I also am completely unable to get in touch with my prime using fastboot or adb. My recovery is broken since the JB OTA. I seem stuck with stock. A question; when selecting the usb icon after a vol-down prime boot, I get the message "starting fastboot something something.. ".. But nothing more happens on the tablet although windows does recognize and attached fastboot device. Is it normal that the prime is stuck at this message when going into fastboot?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] epeereboom:
That is normal
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Yes, EXACTLY

For APX you need to have the original naked driver folder and repoint the device manager to the same folder AGAIN. If you deleted it just download it and again then point the device to the folder so it picks up APX.inf and it will install right away.

This is normal you need to install the drivers for each mode you boot your TF201 into so would be three times

1) ADB

2) Fastboot

3) APX
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Works fine in each mode, the JB update does not change the profile of the device nor would any future updates. The hardware ID's are perm drivers are future proof for updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Thanks for the info just did not get around to adding it in yet, its probably by luck if anyone had TF700 working with this driver in ADB.

I will add this into the future releases.

Same prob, do u use Windows 8 as wel?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pinku1:
I got windows 8 same issue here....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
In windows I seem to be communicating with my TF201 just fine but in fastboot I get no device found using these drivers :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tomb77:
fastboot driver is not installed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
The device list shows "Asus Fastboot Interface" and I used the drivers here. What other drivers should I be using? I have tried several and get no device found with adb.

To be clear my device is no unlocked. While the use described in the first post implies a required unlocked bootloader, I am not trying to use nvflash or replace the OS. I just want to communicate with ADB while in fastboot. Nowhere does it say that is required to use this in the first couple of pages.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Are you using "fastboot -i 0x0b05" for all your fastboot commands? This is needed for the prime and "fastboot devices" does not work. All other fastboot commands are good to go as long as you use the "-i 0x0b05"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
I am not trying to issue commands through fastboot.exe, rather adb.exe

Perhaps that is my mistake. Will the prime (TF201) not do that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tomb77:
If your prime is in fastboot mode, you need do give a fastboot command in command prompt on your computer. see if "fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot" works and reboots your prime. Or try another fastboot command with "i 0x0b05" typed after fastboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
I should be more specific but now that I have re-read the post I see they refer to rebooting in to "Recovery" mode. I assumed that was the same thing as fastboot:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1670824

In that thread they refer to pushing packages to the "prime" via adb commands in recovery. Nowhere in the thread does it say you must be unlocked but I do see near the bottom of the first post they talk about CWM and TWRP which means unlock is required. Sorry folks.

Win7 x64?

How the hell do I install these drivers for my TF300T?? right clicking on the inf files tells me they cannot be installed that way. I have uninstalled all traces of old drivers, what gives?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
You need to do so through device manager. Choose Update Driver for the device, then "specific driver" (browse option) then "Have Disk" and point to the path you have the driver files. On newer windows OS's you should get a "Driver not signed" warning just click install. Voila, driver installed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartyHulskemper:
On x64 systems, you cannot instal inf-format drivers directly. Remov all possible traces of the drivers that were downloaded from the Windows Udate directory, disable the online WU search, then connect your 700 when under the recovery or your ROM (and direct it to the driver pack's location when Windows asks for a driver) -- this enables adb access-- and THEN boot into APX mode (boot while holding Vol_Down, release when text appears, let it sit for 5 seconds, select the USB icon with Vol_Down, then select it with Vol_Up) and connect your device again. It will then ask for the drivers a second time, enabling fastboot access. (Since they use different protocols, they need two specific instances of the driver installed).

If you can't access adb or fastboot, restart the local server by issueing the following commands on the command line: "adb kill-server" [ENTER] followed by "adb start-server" [ENTER]. That should stir things up a bit.

No go in Windows 7 64-bit for me

I have been unable to install the Universal Naked Driver 0.7 in Windows 7 x64 for hours now. I originally had some drivers installed. I wanted this set installed for nvflash purposes. I uninstalled the previous driver and chose to remove the files. I reboot. I am disconnected from internet. I don't allow any automatic update or download of drivers. I connect the TF700T. I do see it try to install drivers. I click on the x in the system tray popup to make sure. It confirms that the device driver was not successfully installed.

However, I do then get a popup that says this:

USB Composite Device: Ready to Use

ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T: Ready to Use

ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface: No driver found

*** I am not sure if the second item here indicates that an improper driver is being installed, I believe this is just for the general MTP sdcard file access, and I'm assuming that I'm still on the right track here because its the ADB interface that I need to install the naked drivers for. Read on.

I open device manager. Indeed, I'm presented with a "Asus Android Composite ADB Interface" with a yellow exclamation point, and I right click and choose update driver. I click browse my computer for driver software. I point it to the location of the unzipped driver in my "Universal_Naked_Driver_0.7" directory. I let it search subdirectories.

I get: "Windows was unable to install your ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface". Windows could not find driver software for your device.

I don't know, this is pretty basic stuff. I've never been stuck on a simple driver install before. Why won't this work? Are the 64-bit drivers truly here? In that directory I've got:

Directory: amd64

Directory: i386

File: android_apxusb.inf

File: android_winusb.inf

File: androidwinusb86.cat

File: androidwinusba64.cat

EDIT: FYI... if I instead use the drivers I find in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588) ... THAT works fine. Its the zip file contains some additional directories... but again, I've been instructed to use the "naked drivers" in this thread for nvflash purposes.

EDIT2: There is definitely something missing in the inf file for the driver package from this thread. When I look for the Hardware ID for the device I'm trying to install in:

a) either of the two inf files in the driver package in this thread - THEY ARE NOT THERE.

b) in the inf file found in the driver package from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588) - they ARE THERE.

The proper hardware ID's for the TF700T are not included in this Universal Naked Driver.

This is a cut and paste from the other inf.

; TF700T

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4C91&MI_01

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4C93&MI_02

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4C95&MI_01

I still dont exactly know what to do here. Maybe its just ok to use the drivers from that other thread.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UrbanDroid:
I have some general questions about the functionality of the naked drivers.

First, do they allow us to gain access to the tablet in APX mode? If so why can we not use this to in some way recover our bricked TF201?

Second, knowing we use the APX mode to generate the files necessary to use NVFlash why can this not be use to recover for other tablets that do not have these files. I do understand that the files generated are specific to each Prime, but there should be a base build or system file that would allow us to gain a back door into fastboot.

I'm just a little confused about this whole thing and the way that the TFP functions in general. The rooting, recovery flashing and roming of this tablet was just not very straight forward and i'm frustrated as to the outcome. Which of course is bricked... :confused::(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unfnknblvbl:
I don't particularly like bumping threads, but this is kinda annoying. Has anybody managed to install these drivers on 64bit Windows? If so, then why is Windows telling me that it can't?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Yes I did. You have to go in and manually install them. I forget the exact process.

Hey guys its hard to keep up with all devices with regards about the missing TF300 and TF700. I will officially add these devices soon, the reason is not working is because I have not done the effort yet.

Sorry for confusion and I look forward to adding in the next week or so.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Yes they work for APX mode as well on the TF201, you will need to install the driver for each mode you connect your device in. ADB, Fastboot and APX.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrjayviper:
does this work for the Asus infinity? I'm using windows 7 x64 and when I tried to use it, Windows just ignores it. Tried the drivers from this link (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588) and it installs ok. I'm on 4.0.3 unlocked and trying to fastboot.

and fastboot can't recognized by tablet.

tried:

1. fastboot continue

2. fastboot -i 0x0b05 continue

3. fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging ebtblob.bin

4. fasboot reboot

5. fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot

thanks

Cannot install tf300t drivers on win7 x86

Hey i cannot get these drivers to install on my windows 7 64bit computer... i am trying to install for the TF300T and it fails every time saying windows cannot find drivers for your device.. i have them unzipped and everything is as it should be..

Any ideas/suggestions? Has the TF300T still not been added? Or are they not compatible with x86 architecture? It seems that others have gotten this to work considering the NVFlash tutorial instructs us to use them and it has been successfully tested on TF300Ts....:(

I've tried all my computers usb ports, i even tried without uninstalling the drivers. I noticed the tf300 shows up in device manager twice. once as mobile device and once as android device. i tried combinations of uninstalling one or both of these and tried to update driver software on each... i think I've literally tried every combination of uninstall/reinstall and windows always says cannot find driver software even though I've selected the unzipped file with everything in it!!! is there some trick im missing? ive been working at this for two days now

Did you try adb with just the Asus drivers installed? That is what your going for correct? And if so how are you accessing adb?

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markymark567:
Yes i have tried with the regular asus drivers. Adb connects. When i start adb i type Android devices and it shows up as c3okct032268 device. And what im going for is drivers for fastboot and apx mode so i can nvflash my tablet and finally upgrade and root and such.

And im not entirely sure what you mean but i am accessing adb by opening a command promt in my adb platform tools in my \c drive... same way i always do.. is that what you mean? Also i have the nvflash binaries and the tf300t binary package (both from nvflash guide) in my adb folder to have it ready for nvflash.... dont think it makes a difference but again im out of ideas =\
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Well if its showing up in adb then you should be good to go. And yes that's what I meant about how do you access adb. It sounds to me like your ready to nv flash that thing. I don't know anything about that my self so I can't help you there.

I read the guide at https://www.androidroot.mobi/nvflash-on-asus-transformer/

Also it helped me to watch WWJoshDew's video on YouTube. I honestly watched this over and over again and finally figured out what I was doing wrong. One thing is you are booting into different modes on the device, APX. ADB and recovery. These are not the same and require different combinations of up or down volume+POWER to work.

I wish I could walk you through it, but Josh does that in his video and now it's been a few months and I don't remember everything.
